Forecasts

Calthor (13/8), Belfast Banter (5/2), Gevrey (9/2), Gelee Blanche (15/2), Defan (14/1), Dedanann (16/1), Stoneyford Boy (25/1), Alice O'Byrne (25/1), Rocconrockall (50/1), Nelson's Point (50/1), Rippon Lodge (66/1), Magic Of Words (66/1), Galon De Vauzelle (66/1)

Verdict

DEFAN was a warm order for his debut and, having come down at the second, he's worth another chance to what he's capable of. He's preferred to Gevrey, who made an encouraging start to hurdling when second at Listowel, while point winner Calthor should be able to get involved if tuned up.

  1. DEFAN
  2. GEVREY (FR)
